The Ocean Cleanup’s Interceptor 006 in Guatemala has been a huge success, capturing an impressive amount of trash in just hours during the first flood of the year. The Interceptor is strategically located in the Rio Las Vacas, a tributary of the Rio Motagua, a major contributor to plastic pollution in the Caribbean Sea. This innovative technology works to prevent millions of kilograms of plastic waste from reaching the ocean, making a significant impact on cleaning up rivers globally. With continued success and new deployments in Thailand and India, The Ocean Cleanup is making great progress towards their mission of ridding the oceans of plastic.
